What is Decapping?

Decapping involves removing the pintle cap from a fuel injector. The pintle cap is a small metal piece that restricts fuel flow through the injector1. By removing this cap, the injector can deliver more fuel to the engine, which is beneficial for high-performance applications.

Why Decap Fuel Injectors?

  1. Increased Fuel Flow: Removing the pintle cap allows more fuel to pass through the injector, which can be crucial for engines that require more fuel to produce higher power outputs.

  2. Improved Performance: With increased fuel flow, the engine can achieve better throttle response and overall performance.

  3. Cost-Effective: Decapping is a relatively inexpensive way to enhance fuel delivery compared to purchasing high-flow injectors.
